On the DEEP DRILLER, among the starboard-side valves to open when deballasting from ballast tank 2S is valve _______________.

A 3
B 5
C 6
D 7
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 5. When deballasting from ballast tank 2S on the DEEP DRILLER, valve 5 on the starboard side is the correct valve to open. This is based on the standard procedures and valve configurations for deballasting operations on this type of offshore drilling unit. The other valve options (3, 6, and 7) would not be the correct valves to open for deballasting from this specific ballast tank. Knowing the proper valve identification and sequence is an important part of the Coast Guard Captain's License examination, as it demonstrates the candidate's understanding of safe and effective ballast control operations on specialized vessels.
